    INSTRUCTIONS

    NOTES:

    Let dry completely between painting steps.

    1. Using a foam brush, paint one slat each in Sea Breeze, Coastal Waters, Sky Blue, and Turquoise Waters. Be sure to paint the edges between the slats with a small flat brush.
    2. Instruction #1
    3. Distress the pallet edges with fine-grit sandpaper.
    4. Instruction #2
    5. Paint the "SEA" letters in Desert Turquoise and Sea Breeze. Mix Desert Turquoise and Sea Breeze to create a different shade for the third letter. Let dry. Once dry, distress the edges with fine-grit sandpaper.
    6. Instruction #3
    7. Paint the starfish hooks in Coastal Waters using a flat brush. Let dry; then distress lightly with fine-grit sandpaper.
    8. Instruction #4
    9. Apply a very small amount of Everlasting to a chip brush. Dab off the extra on a paper towel. Dry-brush the wooden pallet by lightly brushing in short, quick strokes. (If the sign ends up with too much white paint, you can always remove with a damp paper towel and start over.)
